But the story of how they met seems to be like the revisions people invariably used to get when Hollywood did a biopic. First, according to Wikipedia, via a Washington Post article, they met at a fourth of July event in 1996. Second, Jeri was a political consultant for a Washington, D.C. law firm. Do you really believe that Thompson simply picked her up at a grocery store without her recognizing the senator/actor at sight? As Fred would say, when he is impersonating a good ole boy and driving that red pickup for a couple of blocks before it gets put back on a lift and he climbs into his limosine, "That dog won't hunt".
Can you prove that?
